the Netherlands and the law on Cannabis

In the Netherlands there are laws on cannabis but they are more confusing and less strict then in other countries. It is allowed to sell cannabis with a maximum of 5 grams to adults, that happens in special shops we call "coffee-shops". To enter the coffee-shop you need to show your identification to proofe you're an adult. There they sell all kinds of weeds, hashes, papers to roll a joint and other things to use the cannabis with. There you can also smoke or use it as you wish.Kind of like a bar but at that point everybody is relaxed, no fights ! Funny but good fact is that coffee-shops are not allowed to sell alcohol. Having more than 500 grams in possession leads to closing the shop for a while or in some cases even permanently.(Personally i am convinced that alcohol gives more social problems than cannabis.)Selling cuttings is forbidden but we are allowed to grow 5 plants without any professional equipment to let them grow, think of professional lamps and feeding-systems. If they do catch you with professional equipment you could get arrested and even prosecuted.But that is not all..in the Netherlands it is tolerated by law to grow a maximum of 5 plants but drying it all could lead to problems because we are not allowed to have more than 5 grams in our possession. While we all know you get far more than 5 grams from only one plant !In the Netherlands there are no laws against possessing and selling cannabis seeds.So know the law, do it right and enjoy !
